Complete Android Fragment & Activity Lifecycle

After struggling with trying to figure out how various pieces fit together, I've done some research and put together the complete Android Activity/Fragment lifecycle chart. This has two parallel lifecycles (activities and fragments) which are organized vertically by time. Lifecycle stages will occur in the vertical order in which they're displayed, across activities and fragments. In this way, you can see how your fragments interact with your activities.

If you see any discrepancies or errors in this diagram, please submit a pull request or contact steve@staticfree.info.

Some Notes

This intentionally leaves off user-triggered callbacks (such as onOptionsItemSelected()), focusing on the lifecycle stages that are triggered by the system, in order to keep the diagram more focused on the parts that are hard to follow.

This diagram was originally created in Dia and has been rendered to PNG via Inkscape.
